context_tracking: Protect against recursion
Context tracking recursion can happen when an exception triggers in the middle of a call to a context tracking probe. This special case can be caused by vmalloc faults. If an access to a memory area allocated by vmalloc happens in the middle of context_tracking_enter(), we may run into an endless fault loop because the exception in turn calls context_tracking_enter() which faults on the same vmalloc'ed memory, triggering an exception again, etc... Some rare crashes have been reported so lets protect against this with a recursion counter.
